Methodists introduce “We Are More” campaign

BATON ROUGE – The bishops of the South Central Jurisdiction of The United Methodist Church have joined together to produce a campaign focused on stories that connect people and proclaim that #WeAreMore when united through Jesus Christ. The campaign, called “We Are More,” is designed to engage the people in the pews — and in the world — through sharing and listening to one another’s stories.

The campaign will feature video, audio and blog stories with a participatory component. Anyone can upload their own story via the website, www.wearemore.faith for consideration in the campaign. Look for #WeAreMore stories in your social media networks. Antidote, a St. Louis-based agency developed the campaign in relationship with the South Central Jurisdiction episcopal leaders.

“This is a campaign that we would like to see gain momentum across the global connection,” said Bishop Cynthia Fierro Harvey of the Louisiana Annual Conference. “We hope people will feel free to watch, download and share these stories in their social media networks, feature them in worship and small groups, and upload their own #WeAreMore stories of how the Holy Spirit is working among us.”

The campaign will be at the denomination’s General Conference in Portland May 11-12 in the Oregon Ballroom Lobby, capturing video and audio stories for the campaign which is expected to run throughout the summer.
